I am writing in support of the Meow Wolf Workers Collective in their fight to win layoff protections and wage increases in their first union contract. The MWWC represents more than 170 artists and exhibition staff, many of whom live in Santa Fe. Our workers, like so many others, are rapidly being priced out of the city. When Meow Wolf opened House of Eternal Return in 2016, it was hailed as a victory for local artists who made something truly unique to share with the world. If we want to protect that, then we must protect the jobs of the people who built it. We must keep them safe from outsourcing and the whims of a market where artists are forced to fight each other for temporary contract gigs. With the labor of hundreds of workers (not just artists!), Meow Wolf is well on its way to becoming a national success, a multi-million dollar entertainment studio known the world over.

or Mary Parr-Sanchez, who taught history in middle schools for 25 years, standardized testing is a crucial measurement tool. But like other educators, the president of New Mexico’s chapter of the National Education Association believes the state has leaned too heavily on test scores. “We have just gotten over the top with pigeon-holing our students with just two measurements: a reading score and a math score,” Parr-Sanchez tells SFR. There have been advancements over the decades, with educators developing numerous alternatives to high-stakes testing as a way to pinpoint advancement which broaden the ways in which students’ can demonstrate knowledge. But old-school standardized testing remains firmly in place as a primary tool for measuring student success at both the state and federal levels. And in New Mexico, standardized testing has, perhaps inadvertently, played a pivotal role in identifying the inequities in public schooling. In recent years, the measurement tool has seen major disruptions and changes, which have made tracking student progress— particularly for “at-risk” children—much more difficult. In the seminal 2018 Martinez and Yazzie v. State of New Mexico court ruling, the late-District Court Judge Sarah Singleton indicted the state officials’ lack of sufficient educational inputs to adequately prepare students for careers and college. Singleton seized on standardized test scores to support her conclusions, pointing to a litany of poor results on the Standards Based Assessment (SBA) and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) tests, two of New Mexico’s formerly preferred tools used to test kids’ math and reading skills. New Mexico has long struggled with low test scores across the board. But for students identified as at-risk—English-language learners, children living in low-income homes, those receiving special education services and Native youths—the outcomes “are much worse,” Singleton’s order reads. The longtime judge cited statistics in her ruling that showed just 17.6% and 4.3% of Native students and English-language learn# 8

Pandemic-driven testing disruptions further obscure New Mexico’s progress toward educating vulnerable children

ers, respectively, achieved proficiency in reading. The results for those student populations in math were similarly dismal. Where do those rates stand today? And have more recent state efforts to comply with the mandates of the Yazzie/Martinez ruling, as it’s known, met the mark? Those are elusive questions, and that’s because the data is unreliable, SFR has found. Former Gov. Susana Martinez remained steadfastly committed to using PARCC— which replaced SBA in 2015—as her chief measuring stick for both teacher and student success during her eight years in office, despite a near-unanimous uproar from the education community. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham axed PARCC when she took office in 2019, appointed a Public Education Department task force, and settled on a new standardized exam: the New Mexico Measures of Student Success and Achievement (MSSA) test. The revolving door of high-stakes exams— so called because their outcomes were tied to student advancement—has drawn scrutiny from the Legislative Finance Committee. “To ensure accurate comparisons of academic performance over time, New Mexico should consider maintaining the same assessment over a longer period,” reads the most recent policy and performance analysis from the interim legislative committee. Inconsistency hasn’t been the only disruption to the state’s testing scheme. When COVID-19 hit New Mexico in March 2020, the state received a waiver to forgo all federally mandated standardized testing for the 2019-20 school year. The following year, the education department received an accountability waiver, which par-

doned the state from having to test 95% of all students, which is typically required of state education agencies. Instead PED attempted to test New Mexico students to “the greatest extent possible” given last school year’s learning conditions, which worked out to far fewer students. Gwen Perea Warniment, deputy secretary of teaching, learning and assessment at PED, explains that district- and school-level data is important to track the progress of at-risk students—but more is needed. “Are they getting their needs met?” Warniment asks. “We need to have that statewide approach to data.” The pandemic has been an “added challenge,” PED Secretary Kurt Steinhaus said in an interview last month. To stay on pace, the education department has asked districts and charter schools to conduct interim assessments—shorter tests taken three times throughout the year—to track students’ progress. Unsurprisingly, remote learning didn’t produce better outcomes for students who took the interim tests. PED assessed about 14,800 students between third and eighth grades last year— roughly one in 10 of New Mexico students in those grades. A study of interim assessments found the number of students proficient in reading dropped 3% and decreased 8% for math. Warniment hesitates to extrapolate from those declines, given the small sample size. She says teasing apart the data to look at impacts on specific at-risk student populations isn’t possible, which leaves the department partially in the dark. “There is a question that’s lingering out
there for all of us and most importantly, for our parents around, ‘Where are my students?’” Warniment says, adding that the answer lies not in high-stakes testing, but rather in short-term, weekly assessment in the classroom to monitor students’ success. The Legislative Education Study Committee has similarly identified the challenges of the current situation. “With 2019 data the most recent available, school leadership has no way to assess the impact of new programs or the interruption of pandemic-related closures,” reads this year’s report to the Legislature. Back over at the LFC, which advises the Legislature’s purse strings, the lack of accountable results has left the Legislature with few options. And without the data that informs policy makers’ decisions, “the Legislature has just leaned on what has previously been found to be effective, which has been the K-5 Plus program despite the low participation rates,” Sunny Liu, a public schools analyst with the LFC, tells SFR. Just 11% of the state’s districts and charter schools opted to participate in the K-5 Plus program, which adds 25 school days to the calendar, this year. That’s a slight increase from 2020-21, when about 9% participated. Teacher burnout has kept participation low, Warniment says. “Twenty five days when you’re already exhausted, seems untenable,” she tells SFR, adding that “better systems of support for educators” are needed.

motor vehicle theft, aggravated fleeing from a law enforcement officer and evidence tampering, all felonies. Jaramillo, who had initially been cast as the victim, concocted the whole story, authorities alleged at a news conference announcing the charges. She’d been driving the Malibu, allegedly stolen from Las Vegas, NM, and she’d led police on a chase at least once before, then cooked up a kidnapping tale in Grants—an accusation SFR has verified through court records. As law enforcement officials laid out their case, Jaramillo was allegedly trying to smuggle a gram of suspected methamphetamine and a syringe into the Santa Fe County Adult Correctional Facility, which led to yet another charge, this one for drug possession. She appeared in court Tuesday afternoon via video conference. Her lawyer, Richard Pugh, declined to comment on the charges, saying he had not yet reviewed the case or met with Jaramillo.

week has passed since the driver of a white Chevy Malibu led police on a high-speed chase the wrong way down Interstate 25 near the Old Pecos Trail exit, ending in a multi-vehicle crash that snarled traffic for hours and shook Santa Fe. The narrative on March 2 seemed straightforward enough, though tragic and terrifying: Authorities said a man carjacked a woman at knifepoint in the parking lot of the Vizcaya apartments, then kidnapped her. A neighbor called 911, and several Santa Fe Police Department officers rushed over and began their pursuit. It ended a short time later with the crash, which left 43-year-old SFPD Officer Robert Duran and retired Las Vegas, NM, firefighter Frank Lovato, 62, dead. The suspect, police told Santa Feans, fled on foot and a “manhunt” was under way. What’s happened in the seven days since has amounted to a bizarre, slow-burn unraveling of the story. There was no carjacking, no male suspect, no chance for the search to end in success. Instead, New Mexico State Police, who took over the investigation for SFPD, arrested 46-year-old Jeannine Jaramillo in Albuquerque on Saturday on two counts of first degree murder and one count each of
of Jaramillo’s role in the pursuit almost immediately, yet they didn’t let on for nearly four days. Jaramillo avoided the initial crash—which killed Lovato and Duran—in the northbound lanes of I-25, and SFPD Officer Julian Norris continued to chase her south until she collided with another vehicle a short distance down the road, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed Monday in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court. Among other new details, the affidavit says officially for the first time that SFPD officers also were driving the wrong way down the interstate as they chased the vehicle—first northbound, in the southbound lanes, then the other direction, but still against oncoming traffic. Norris told a State Police agent a short time after the crash that Jaramillo and no one else exited the Malibu, the affidavit states. Agents later found the keys to the Malibu in the backseat of the police car
A memorial has been erected in the Interstate 25 median at the crash site near mile marker 286. INSET: Jeannine Jaramillo was booked into the Santa Fe County jail Saturday, March 5.
Jaramillo had been sitting in, and further investigation showed only the driver’s side airbag had deployed. Still, the night of the crash, State Police Chief Tim Johnson said in a televised roadside interview that a “manhunt” was ongoing for the male suspect. The next day, local television stations flooded Santa Fe with cameras to interview concerned residents and push out headlines about a “community shaken” and people “on edge.” State Police issued a news release Thursday afternoon saying the agency “does not believe that there is an ongoing threat to the public,” but didn’t explain further. Later that night, Johnson told SFR that his investigators were starting the investigation “from zero,” but declined to say whether he still believed Jaramillo’s story. On Friday, the Albuquerque Journal reported Norris’ statements about what he saw after the crash, but State Police held firm, telling the newspaper they were still “working on identifying and locating” a carjacking suspect. State Police officials did not respond to emailed questions from SFR about why they didn’t update the community sooner, as it became clear Jaramillo’s initial story was falling apart. Officials finally offered their new, full version of events at a news conference in Santa Fe on Saturday afternoon, March 5. District Attorney Mary CarmackAltwies on Tuesday filed a motion asking state District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer to hold Jaramillo in jail pending trial. A hearing on that motion is set for Monday at 3 pm. SFPD has scheduled a public memorial service for Officer Duran at 1 pm Saturday at the Rio Rancho Events Center. Duran, who joined the department in 2015, lived in Rio Rancho with his wife and two teenage sons. SANTA FE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER

changed since the program was established in 1997. “In 1997…heroin was the drug that was causing the most problems, and you had HIV and hepatitis C and then other complications and so the solution to that was clean needles,” Phillip Fiuty, harm reduction program manager for the Mountain Center, says. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is reportedly up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, frequently mixed with other drugs, such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, and also made into pills that can resemble prescription opioids. Fiuty sees the fentanyl crisis as existing on a continuum of drug prohibition policies dating back to 1914. “It used to be you had marijuana and heroin…and all of those require large volume of organic material, plants and everything to grow them,” he says. The crops and their cultivation were easy to target, he said, making a shift to synthetic drugs a natural outcome. “You used to need millions of acres of poppies to feed this country’s heroin appetite,” he says. “Now you need a garage to do the same job.” Fentanyl testing strips use the same technology as at-home pregnancy tests and were originally created to detect the presence of fentanyl in urine. The changes made to state law allow the health department to employ drug checking tools, such as fentanyl strips, which otherwise would be considered illegal paraphernalia. The same bill stalled out
As synthetic drugs grow more dangerous, drug-checking technology could help deter more overdoses BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

his week will mark New Mexico’s twoyear anniversary of combating the COVID-19 pandemic: On March 11, 2020, the state announced its first four cases. Since then, the state has amassed more than 513,000. In addition to the loss of life from the disease itself (the state had just passed 7,000 COVID-19 deaths as of press time), the past two years have also brought a significant uptick in drug overdoses, particularly from the synthetic opioid fentanyl. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported overdose deaths had reached a historic high. In New Mexico, the story is the same: A legislative analysis from last summer notes the state continues to have some of the highest death rates from drugs in the country, with overdose deaths increasing by 572% since 1990. In 2020, the state’s drug overdose rate of 39.7 per 100,000 people was close to 34% higher than the national rate, with fentanyl and methamphetamine surpassing heroin and prescription opioids as the leading causes of overdose deaths. A bill passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in late February amended the state’s Harm Reduction Act to allow tools to address the changing nature of the overdose epidemic. That evolution reflects longstanding ineffective drug policies and points to the expanding role technology can play in combating the negative health outcomes sometimes associated with substance use. In essence, House Bill 52 acknowledges how much drugs have
in 2021, an outcome Department of Health Policy Director Aryan Showers attributes partially to last year’s virtual session. “I think that impeded a lot of progress for a lot of people,” she says, but acknowledges that “this time around, the issue with fentanyl has reached a fevered pitch…the timing was right and we didn’t leave any stone unturned.” Decriminalizing fentanyl strips and other drug checking supplies has definitely gained traction. The American Medical Association includes decriminalizing drug checking devices in its 2022 state tool kit. Numerous states have moved in similar directions: The Washington, DC-based nonprofit Legislative Analysis and Public Policy Association in May of last year noted 32 states with drug paraphernalia laws that include controlled substances testing equipment, with three specifically allowing the test strips through harm reduction programs and 10 states with pending bills (New Mexico among them at the time) that would exclude fentanyl testing from the definition of drug paraphernalia. The CDC and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announced last spring that federal funding can now be used to purchase fentanyl test strips. A 30-year-veteran in providing harm reduction services, Fiuty managed the state’s program 20 years ago. He also didn’t wait for the Legislature to amend state law before he started providing fentanyl testing strips at the Mountain Center. “I’m a big fan of the state’s program and I have a lot of respect for New Mexico’s approach,” Fiuty says, “but fentanyl showed up in our drug supply at the end of 2019 and then COVID started, and I was like, ‘I can’t wait.’” He bought the test strips and began making them available. “People took to using them right away and, in my opinion, it’s been very successful,” he adds.
New Mexico recently changed state law to allow for the use of drug checking technology, such as fentanyl testing strips to keep pace with the changing nature of drugs.
TECH
The changes to the law, however, don’t specifically name fentanyl testing strips. Rather, they allow for any technology that comes down the line that could help deter overdoses and other negative outcomes from substance use. Such “drug checking,” as it’s commonly called, “is critical,” Emily Kaltenbach, senior director of criminal legal and policing reform at the Drug Policy Alliance, says, “and will continue to be as we see an increasing number of adulterants. Fentanyl is just one and that’s why it is so important that House Bill 52 was broader in the language.” Those could include reagents—liquid drops that create a chemical interaction to detect substances, or even certain types of spectrometers that can be used to check drugs for impurities. The technology, Fiuty notes, “has been around forever,” but access can be limited. “I feel like the technology is really advancing as we see these adulterants emerge,” Kaltenbach says, but adds that they are “only as good as they are used” and, ideally, there needs to be expansion toward community-based, government-endorsed drug-checking centers. She, like Fiuty, points to “prohibition in an unregulated” drug market as fueling the rise in fentanyl overdoses. “For example, as we continue to crack down on trafficking, you see those in the illicit market transporting higher concentrations in smaller dose because it’s easier to go undetected,” Kaltenbach says. The state health department doesn’t have plans to employ tools beyond fentanyl testing strips in the immediate future, but officials say they are open to doing so. “It’s something we’re always looking at,” Joshua Swatek, the state health department’s hepatitis and harm reduction program manager, says. “We’ll certainly take a serious look into any future technology that might come out that would help us reduce overdoses or any sort of negative health consequence that’s associated with substances.” Chances are, that flexibility will be needed. Lisa Raville, executive director of the Harm Reduction Action Center in Denver, tells SFR her organization has been using fentanyl testing strips since 2018, when fentanyl arrived in that city. “We’re seeing it in heroin, meth, cocaine and then the pressed pills,” she says, but also says “we’re not really getting much heroin anymore due to climate change and lack of poppy cultivation. They’re making synthetic opioids in the lab…so that’s definitely the wave of the future.” Which means at some point, “in the next six months to a year, I’m not even sure I’m going to be giving out strips anymore, because what’s the point?” she says. “Everything’s gonna have fentanyl in it.”

Governor’s Mansion Set to Reopen for Public Tours Mansion Drive
N
ew Mexico’s first governor’s residence is a major tourist attraction on the Plaza, its well-known facade lined with artisans marking the Palace of the Governors history as the longest continuously occupied government building in the nation. The second governor’s residence—this one crossing into the definition of mansion—exists now only in photographs and folklore. Built in the early 1900s along the Santa Fe River, the house and its Greek Revival columns were demolished after extensive flood damage (on the cover). So the 10,000-square-foot house that Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham calls home just off Bishop’s Lodge Road is the state’s third, designed by WC Kruger and opened in 1955. “This is about the oldest state capital with the oldest mansion and also the newest governor’s mansion of all 50 states,” says docent Douglas Beck. It’s also a prime example of post-war industrial reuse: The bricks that make up its exterior were salvaged at the demolition of the state prison in the city. While the governor’s personal apartment is off limits to the public, the home’s four public rooms for entertainment will be open to visitors next month after a long closure during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Don’t you love our house?” gushes Mary Brophy as she walks by during a docent preview tour for SFR. “I mean all of us. It’s all of our house.” Brophy, the mansion director, knows each nook and cranny, as she held the job
under former Gov. Bill Richardson as well. Beck echoes the sentiment as he invites guests to sit on the sunny banco or the sofa while he talks. (Just three chairs in the home are off limits due to their age and condition.) In the corner of the living room, a hightech video setup from which the governor broadcasts public addresses is a juxtaposition to the Spanish Colonial-styled furniture, Native pottery and other art that adorns the space. The interior design that today reflects the state’s cultures and history was largely a hodgepodge until the late 1980s, Beck explains, when first lady Kathy Carruthers worked to establish the mansion foundation and hired interior designer Gene Law to create a unified and historically informed look for the rooms and to design tables, fixtures, cabinets and other pieces that were built by New Mexico craftspeople.

crystal—extends to 36 feet long and its ceiling beams are stenciled to replicate designs Law sketched at the palace of King Phillip in Spain. Docent tours also spend plenty of time on the art on the mansion walls. Each governor chooses pieces in cooperation with the state’s museums. Lujan Grisham’s foyer features one of Georgia O’Keeffe’s spring cottonwoods along with a cubist rendition of Taos Pueblo by Andrew Dasburg. The dining room highlights a Native family with gauzy blue layers of sky by Gerald Cassidy and an amazing piece by Paul Burlin that received extensive restoration. Beck notes the house also includes “giants of Native American art” including Fritz Scholder, Alan Houser and Marvin Oliver.

Fogelson Complex Destined for Reuse Midtown Campus
T
of fits and starts in moving toward the future. A partnership selected to lead a massive redevelopment bailed on the idea mid-pandemic, and City Hall decided to handle the project on its own. Last month, the City Council approved pre-develop-
ment actions on some buildings on the Midtown campus, including a plan for the reuse of the Fogelson Complex. With the redesign still in the planning phase, Maria Sanchez-Tucker, the city’s new community services director, tells
WILLIAM MELHADO
he still-shelved books occupying most of Fogelson Library’s three floors deflect the notion that the once-bustling academic building has slipped into disrepair since it was shuttered four years ago with the closure of Santa Fe University of Art and Design. But in the basement, the calcified crust on a now-dry water feature is one signal the building has sat empty for nearly half a decade. A broken window on the building’s eastern side and birds roosting amid the sweeping arches of the cement exterior also point to vacancy. The signs of desertion surrounding the building will soon be history, says James Garduño, a project administrator working on the Midtown Campus, as the city prepares to renovate the former college library into a space for the wider community. The city acquired the campus in 2009 when the College of Santa Fe went belly up, then leased the land and buildings to the Santa Fe University of Art and Design until that school shut down, too. Since then, the city has encountered a series
ABOVE: Fogelson Library, College of Santa Fe, New Mexico, 1971. BELOW: The Fogelson Complex has seen little change over the last 50 years, despite serving as the library for multiple colleges and transferring ownership to the city.
SFR, “We want to honor the history of the building.” While some 21st century upgrades are necessary, she says, the city intends to “adaptively design it, so that the people who have fond memories of the space…will be still included.” The 53,000-square-foot complex recently turned 51 years old, though few celebrated compared to the dedication ceremony held in October 1970, when Col. EE “Buddy” Fogelson unveiled his namesake, which was then a part of the College of Santa Fe. The college’s roots extend back to the mid-1800s, when it was first named St. Michael’s College. As the school evolved to better serve the student population, it grew, expanding into Albuquerque. At the time of the library center’s opening, which included the Forum Annex and the Southwest Americana Annex, the facility cost $1.8 million. The collection sitting on Fogelson’s shelves topped 300,000 at one point. Sanchez-Tucker says the books and resources will be distributed throughout Santa Fe’s public library system once they’ve been cataloged. For this facility, she hopes to maintain the basic functions of a library, but also create “a flexible space that not only provides access to information, through books and collections, but also provides it through community sharing and programming.” Fogelson’s solid foundation, SanchezTucker says, both in terms of structure and spirit, is a good starting point for the soonto-be common facility. “A public library is truly the community’s space, it’s there for everyone,” she tells SFR. “So the opportunity to really plan for a library that serves the needs of the public into the future is really exciting.” (William Melhado)

Restoring the Alexander Girard Home Camino Delora
A
mong homeowners who care for architecturally significant spaces are two prevailing philosophies. There are those for whom the home is a paradise if not entirely lost, then one reupholstered; to restore its fixtures and furnishings in the period style is to return to a state of grace. They express their devotion by attempting to replicate the original intent as closely as current building codes allow. These homeowners are in the literalist school. Heather and John Brittingham, owners of a home that served as creative headquarters of the prolific designer Alexander Girard, belong to the other school of thought—the improvisationalists. “We know people who dress [Girarddesigned houses] in parade gear,” John Brittingham tells SFR. They faithfully fill their homes with the orthodoxy of Girard’s vast catalog of textiles, furniture pieces and art objects. But the compound at the foot of Camino Delora isn’t just any Girard home. It is where the designer lived and worked for much of his life, from the time he moved to Santa Fe in 1953. After moving from a conservative Detroit suburb, he saw wonder everywhere he looked. Out a window, Girard witnessed a “procession past our house, singing, at night, lit by small bonfires along the road.” The Brittinghams are applying a coat of electrifying Yves Klein blue paint to a tunnel-like window, cut deep through adobe. Inside the narrow opening, one blue collides with another—the New Mexico sky. Girard didn’t use this particular shade of blue. But it’s the kind of juxtaposition of scale—the oddball gesture that domesticates the mystical—that he would have made. Correction: did make. In a living room nicho, Girard once installed a diorama of a church, its elaborate stained-glass windows backlit: the

“The resurgence of Santa Fe parochial schools made the new building on Canyon Road something of a white elephant, and after three years it became evident that continued operation was not economically feasible,” reads a report in a 1979 edition of The Historic Santa Fe Foundation bulletin that is retained in a City Hall file on the property. The brick building at 400 Canyon changed hands semi-regularly over the years until 1928, when Philadelphia doctor Frank Mera traveled to the Southwest in search of a tuberculosis treatment. Finding quality convalescence in the drier air of Colorado Springs, he eventually migrated to sunny Santa Fe and bought the old First Ward School building for a now-mind-boggling $5,000. Mera and his brother founded and ran the Sunmount Sanatorium, which is today better known as the Immaculate Heart of Mary Retreat Center, but perhaps more notable is that the elder Mera rented part of his home on Canyon Road to conservationist Benjamin Hyde (ever heard of Hyde Park?), who used the space as a Boy Scouts headquarters.

s we move around the edge of the portal, longtime employee Wolfgang Mabry gestures toward where some windows used to reach up to just below the roof. Others have been altered, some have been covered up completely. It’s fitting that he pays so much attention to the windows given that he’s offering a tour of Ventana Fine Art, but Mabry also points out where a slight color difference in bricks signifies an addition and takes pains to highlight other decorative touches. The brick exterior, replete with a plaque boasting its historical significance, looms tall and almost out of place in a sea of adobe, and the cupola above juts into the sky for all to see. Originally completed as the First Ward School in 1906 to the tune of $5,311 for Santa Fe taxpayers, the building has housed numerous people and operations since its inception. It was originally conceived as a schoolhouse, however, and built by architects IH and WM Rapp. And it worked out pretty OK as a school, too‚ for a scant couple years, anyway—until 1909, when the St. Francis Cathedral School, which had started offering classes in 1902, became the more-attended institution.

First Ward School’s New Life as Ventana Fine Art
By 1936, the building was sold to one Katherine Gay, who lived and ran a movie theater there, which she named The Little Red Schoolhouse. Rumor has it she was the first to screen foreign films in Santa Fe, and Gay would also renovate the building into the more apartment-like interior we know today. An English antiques dealer bought the old First Ward School in 1962 following Gay’s death, while notable Santa Feans like Joan Kelly and Linda Durham have, at one point or another, reportedly taken over. Cut to 1996, a pretty good year for alternative rock, and the same era when Ventana’s Connie Axton took over the lease under current owner, Anderson-Schroeder Inc. Axton has performed renovations since then; a retaining wall here, a beautiful new brick stairway/stoop there and, in 2009, Axton and Schroeder picked up the The Historic Santa Fe Foundation’s Architectural Stewardship Award for their ongoing preservation of the building’s historical value. Which pretty much catches everyone up to speed. Oh, but before we forget—have you seen the original hardwood floors in there? Gorgeous. (Alex De Vore)
BANFF! People are always telling us one of their favorite things about living in Santa Fe is the access to killer outdoor activities. We see it in the skiing, the hiking, the biking and climbing; we see it in the camping and snowshoeing and a million other ways. The Banff Mountain Film Fest is all about that life, baby, and it has been since 1976. Featuring an international list of shorts, full-lengths and other surprises, the ongoing touring show is a veritable cavalcade of films made by people who love and appreciate the outdoors as hard as many Santa Feans do, and with filming tech making leaps and bounds in recent years, there’s no telling how the action might play out. We love a POV movie, for example. Proceeds benefit the Santa Fe Conservation Trust, too! (ADV) Banff Mountain Film Fest: 7 pm Thursday, March 10 and Friday, March 11. $20-$38.

Fans of psych-rock and Brit-pop take note—Art of Flying’s got a smooth and sultry sound that pulls from the indie/ emo sounds of the mid-’90s and infuses a dash of contempo-folk goodness. Think Billy Bragg-meetsBonnie Prince Billy; a little bit of the old Belle and Sebastian, too. And while we could sit here all day coming up with genrefied dash-carrying descriptors, the only real way to figure out why this might just be your next big rock obsession is to catch the live show.

MUSIC MON/14 BILLS ON PARADE If you never did catch SFR’s 2019 cover story on local country and Americana musician Bill Hearne, you really missed out. Now in his 70s, Hearne is what we might call an institution—a long-operating musician’s musician with roots across New Mexico and Texas, and a swing in his sound that could only come from decades of commitment. Hearne’s effortlessly powerful voice cuts a swath across generations of songwriters, some of whom he covers, and his own material, which he performs on a custom Collings guitar made just for him (catch that “BH” fret marker for extra points), is some of the most universal and enduring we’ve heard from a creator, local or no. Yeah, there’s a reason you’ll find Hearne performing to packed houses almost always, and if you don’t know what that is yet, you should probably catch the show.

Man the Ramparts Southwest Beat Battle II takes over Tumbleroot When last we spoke with Christopher Mike-Bidtah, aka Diné MC Def-i, he was exiting summer 2019 with big plans to head overseas and spread the hip-hop love while continuing his ongoing mission of music education across borders. Then, of course, COVID-19 happened, and he was forced to hunker down at home. Nearly three years later, however, he’s back, armed with more music than ever, an album due out in summer, a bevy of content ready to drop and, as of this week, a beat battle for local musicmakers looking to showcase their prowess. “I got inspired during the pandemic and wrote maybe three albums,” Def-i tells SFR. “One of them is very conceptual and ties in with how I felt during COVID-19, especially being home a lot. We’re releasing In the Mean Time in May, but we’ll start rolling out music videos and singles here in March.” If you can’t wait until then, Def-i’s upcoming Southwest Beat Battle II promises to be the hip-hop event of the year. Featuring appearances from, at the very least, Santa Fe hip-hop crew the Outstanding Citizens Collective, the event also aims to raise awareness and maybe
some funds for Def-i compatriot Dr. Elliot Gann, whose nonprofit org Today’s Future Sound uses beatmaking as a form of therapy. Def-i will also perform a special set to debut new music and, as it happens, we’ll probably learn a thing or two about Gann’s weekly online gathering of producers dubbed The Global Beat Cipher. For those who know such battles to have a roast component, worry not—Def-i’s more about helping people and spreading goodness through music than proving who’s better at anything, though there will be a cash prize for the DJ or producer who comes out on top according to the judges, which include audience members. “Even though the producers are going head-to-head, if you hear a good beat from both sides, you’re still going to want to cheer on everyone,” Def-i adds. “We try to encourage everybody to show the love.” (Alex De Vore)

With filmmaker Erik Sanchez
When last we caught up with filmmaker Erik Sanchez (Shoalwater Bay, Chinook and Chicano), his first major short film Sage Me Not was hitting the festival circuit with its deft mix of horror, comedy and colonialism send-up. Now entering his final year at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Sanchez is in the midst of pre-production for his big, final school project titled TYEE Messenger of the Void, and he’s hoping to garner producers through crowdfunding platform Indiegogo-dot-com (bit.ly/tyeemessenger). We loved Sanchez’s last film and wanted to learn more about how it’s been, how it’s going and what’s next. (Alex De Vore)

Sage Me Not came out swinging with the horror-comedy. What can you tell us about the new film you’re attempting to fund? This one’s a dramedy. I haven’t done drama yet. I’ve been pushing that away because I want to make the world laugh, and there’s so much drama in life already, but it was time I took I chance to tell a story about something I really know about and show the world the highs and lows of life. It’s about a spiritually and culturally lost Native man whose father just passed away, and he has to go back to the reservation. And he’s next in line to protect a sacred rattle. But there’s a lot of, ‘I don’t want to be Indian! I live in the city! I have a city life! My mind is colonized!’ that he’s battling. These are roots drawn from [my own life] that are dramatized, but it’s a story that’s relatable for a lot of folks who live off the Rez and even on the Rez, too. It’s this whole American cultural idea that we’re not supposed to be Indian. You never see it on MTV, you never see it being cool, and that’s what I grew up with, no representation, so I was trying to be this other person that I totally wasn’t. But that’s America for you; the ongoing colonization and attempts to make you forget who you are. They say, ‘We’ve got this new identity you can buy at the mall!’ The movie is a lot about
identity, the loss of identity. Being Native is hard, and sometimes it doesn’t end well, but you just keep going. I don’t want to spoil it for people, but the film is openended. I think that’s the most realistic view of life. Why did you decide to crowdfund? Everything I’ve learned at school I’m putting into this one, and I’ trying to make it the best I can. With Sage Me Not, it was so up in the air because of [the pandemic], and it was just, ‘Alright, we have a camera and a story, I’m coming to your house to shoot.’ This new story I’ve been working on for over a year now, so I’ve had time to think about and cultivate it. It’s a coastal story, and I want to make it look like Washington, so where do I find this moss, where do I find those trees? In Jemez Springs, I’ve been driving around up there, and I can fake it, but that’s going to cost getting my crew up there, setting up; and there are certain props I want to get for this film, like a carved mask of a raven in the Chinook style, which is where I’m from. Plus actors. Gotta pay the actors. I’m still casting the supporting role of an auntie. I haven’t found her yet, but she’s our guide, the one trying to convince my protagonist to move back to the Rez. My auntie is a mentor in my life...I wouldn’t be anywhere without the people I grew up with, the people who guide me though life, the people I tell my ideas to and who believe. With the help of my loved ones, my friends, my community—that’s how I know this will be successful. With cameras, editing software and online film instruction becoming more commonplace, do you envision more filmmakers taking these less-traditional routes to achieving things on their own terms? I love technology, and whatever comes out next, it would be fun to try that, but...I think it’s my role as a storyteller to keep telling stories, so if I do that, if I’m representing a few nations under who I am—like I said about the comedy, I want to make people feel good. I’ve got to tell the stories that protect the earth and the people. This is my microphone to the world. I’ve been watching my whole life, but now people are handing over the microphone. I think if someone has the passion for anything and is committed... Look, I didn’t grow up with much. All I had was a camera and the sun, so I learned how to work with that. Money makes it easier, but if there are obstacles, that’s just when creative problem-solving comes in.
Rest In Power, Chris Abeyta Remembering a Santa Fe legend BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
ad news out of Santa Fe this week as longtime local musician, poet, educator and community pillar Chris Abeyta died on Tuesday. He was 72. Perhaps best known as the co-founder and leader of Chicano rock act Lumbre Del Sol, Abeyta was also a Plaza Bandstand series mainstay and organizer, Vietnam veteran, DJ at local station KSFR, a former Santa Fe Community College board member and city arts commissioner and so many other roles in the community. Lumbre Del Sol exploded onto the scene in 1973, and Abeyta would continue with that band for the rest of his life. He graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1996 with his bachelor’s in art and, throughout the 1990s and 2000s, served across a variety of platforms, including as a math and guitar teacher in elementary schools. He also provided guitar lessons for incarcerated youths through the nonprofit Outside In, the organization behind the original run of the Santa Fe Bandstand series. Some might even know Abeyta as the songwriter behind the iconic song, “Santa Fe, Nuevo Mexico.” In short, many say, Chris Abeyta lived and breathed Santa Fe.
“I don’t know a man who had more pride in his city,” Chris’ son, Amado, tells SFR. “He was always about his music and performing, and also serving his community. There were elements of Santa Fe in everything he wrote; his music, his poetry, everything he did.” Amado and his brother, Buddy, eventually became Lumbre Del Sol bandmates, which Amado describes as, “a dream come true.” “Ever since I was 3 years old, that’s all I wanted,” he says. “It was always such an honor to get to share that stage with him— but he never pressured us to be musicians, never said ‘do it this way or that way.’ It was always about feel and what was in your heart and spirit.” Abeyta had been ill for some time and was under hospice care. Numerous other locals are reeling in the wake of Abeyta’s death. “With his passing we lose a piece of the old world, the old Santa Fe,” says musician and producer Jono Manson. “We must always remember his timeless lessons—he was a good neighbor, and always treated me with kindness, even as a newcomer here 30 years ago.” Current DJ and retired journalist Steve Terrell remembers Abeyta as a friend. “I first met Chris in the early ’80s when I had a job with a little podunk paper called the Santa Fe Reporter,” Terrell says. “I got to know Chris and I’d see his band every so often. Then, in the ’90s when he

Chris Abeyta jams in 1998 on the Plaza, the place his son says was his favorite to perform.
and his brother started a show at KSFR, his slot was before mine, so it was good to see him regularly. He was really idealistic. He said, ‘If I can help one kid stay away from crime, do something they love and be proud of themselves, that’d be great.’” Musician Busy McCarroll remembers meeting Abeyta in the ’70s when she was new to the area. They grew closer over the years, but connected on a deeper level when McCarroll produced a 1986 New Mexico-themed Christmas album, for which Lumbre del Sol recorded a version of “Jingle Bell Rock.” “I have a lot of good memories and a lot of stories,” she says. “I can’t even imagine Santa Fe without him. He felt like a brother; I don’t have a memory without him.”
McCarroll’s husband, musician and engineer Baird Banner of Cerrillos’ Kludgit Sound Recording worked on that record, as well as both of Lumbre Del Sol’s full-length albums, Power of the Moon and Cambios. “He was just pure music,” Banner says of Abeyta, “and anybody who listened to his music knew he loved it.” Truer words and all that. For now, the wound is fresh, though, Amado says, he and his brother Buddy plan to keep the Lumbre del Sol name alive and they hope to perform in honor of their father in the coming months. “The Plaza was his favorite place to perform,” Amado says. “That’s where he shined, that’s where we’ll honor him through music.”

A Moral Legacy in Vintage Pinups BY JC GONZO jcgonzo
P
While their work didn’t feature nudity, the Klaws pushed boundaries with overt themes of bondage, fetishism, and role play. “You were likely considered more of a pervert for wanting to see this material rather than images of standard heterosexual intercourse,” says Rhody. The Klaws—siblings, not spouses—began their business modestly in 1938 with a used bookstore, which they quickly pivoted to selling Hollywood glamour shots and lobby cards. Through an organic, entrepreneurial evolution, the Klaws came to be the producers behind some of the era’s most recognizable and important erotic pinups, providing the material to private, wealthy clients. Paula’s contributions became central to their ongoing success as she assumed the role of both director and photographer. She also continued the business long after Irving’s death in 1966. “I’m not interested in these images as burlesque or fetish ephemera,” Rhody notes. “Taken out of their context after 70 years, they’re not even that pornographic. No moreso than your average television commercial.” Out-of-context is precisely where Rhody finds their charm. His curatorial tendencies lean toward the found photographic object; the re-contextualized, or appropriated image.
“I sift through thousands of, let’s say, old tourist photos to find the ones slightly off, ones that have a compositional framework that’s more interesting in a fine art context,” he explains. In the case of the visually redundant, rapid-fire Klaw archive, Rhody sought out the images that showcased “those off-moments that wouldn’t necessarily reach publication, where the model was staring back at the camera with either a knowing, annoyed or bored gaze.” This was work, after all. “There are peripheral elements, things that may have been cropped out,” Rhody continues. “You can sometimes see beyond the bondage equipment and notice a domestic setting, like a kitchen with some old beer bottles on the stovetop, for example.” Rhody also noticed other “slightly odd elements” in the images, “like women who had huge or multiple pairs of underwear on, which I didn’t understand at first.” The Klaws took great care to avoid pornography charges between their discreet business practices and attentive care in depicting models; while provocative, their images avoid graphic depictions of sex, and the visible, multiple layers of underwear stand as proof. Still, unfortunately, such meticulous efforts were often not enough to evade the law, and the Klaws’ photos came under the
PAULA AND IRVING KLAW
erhaps the names Paula and Irving Klaw don’t conjure up the same cultural gravitas of Bettie Page, the mid-century pinup legend who stood as a bold yet all-American antithesis to 1950s sex-phobia. But the Klaws are crucial to the story of Page and her contemporaries. In an era of censorship wars and sexual hypocrisy, illicit material had to be viewed surreptitiously. The Klaws helped lay the groundwork for an erotic industry while fighting critical legal battles for sexual freedoms. Starting March 12, a collection of vintage and unadulterated pinups from the Klaws will go on view at No Name Cinema, a fiercely independent microcinema and exhibition space committed to the experimental and avant-garde. “They’re neat time capsules of both the era and the initial, limited, and discreet method of distribution of this type of material,” says No Name Cinema founder and exhibition organizer Justin Clifford Rhody. “Exhibiting them by hanging them on a wall is taking them out of their original intended context, which was for private, personal viewing.”
No Name Cinema shows works from legendary if lesser-known photographers and siblings, Paula and Irving Klaw
By today’s standards, shots from the Klaw archive are beyond tame, but the photographers who brought us the iconic Bettie Page often ran afoul of puritanical law enforcement and an over-reaching government.
A&C
harsh scrutiny of the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1957, when Paula, under pressure from the court, was forced to destroy the work to avoid charges of sending pornography through the mail—most of which featured their favorite collaborator, Bettie Page. Thankfully, she secretly saved a portion of the negatives. “Paula hiding and preserving those images in what likely was an incredibly stressful situation goes to show how even when being beaten down, she was confident that what they were doing was not wrong. Her actions say ‘there’s value in these,’” Rhody says. “Irving Klaw went before the Senate and pleaded the Fifth Amendment until he was held in contempt of court. I read that for the rest of his life he’d clip out images of BDSM-like material he found in mainstream, popular culture because he wanted to prove that he never did anything wrong.” Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be until much later that either Paula or Irving would be considered anything close to revolutionary, sex-positive or progressive. Due to their efforts to not be regarded as pornographic, the Klaws’ work is, of course, considered tame by modern standards. Further, what is known of their business practices would hold up well to modern standards, too: At the very least, the Klaws are said to have treated their consenting, self-made models respectfully and much better than other pinup photographers, with anecdotes from Page that include great pay, no harassment and an amiable social relationship. “A present-day parallel might be something like kink.com, known for prioritizing ethics and consent in their workplace,” says Rhody. While we can only rely on hearsay and the remnants of a mostly lost archive, the legacy of the Klaws remains largely positive. Still, such charged imagery is bound to divide some viewers, even today. Perhaps the printed program featuring commissioned essays from artist, writer and educator Courtney Fellion of the San Francisco State University School of Cinema and Albuquerque-based writer and artist Delaney Hoffman will help contextualize the exhibition. “They have the potential for multiple and valid readings and perspectives that are all open. I think, possibly, it has the potential to help us in the unpacking of our own hangups within social mores,” Rhody says. “I’m interested to see what the kind of response will be.” PAULA AND IRVING KLAW: VINTAGE PRINTS FROM THE PHOTO ARCHIVE 6-9 pm Saturday, March 12 Free (but you can always donate) No Name Cinema, 2013 Piñon St., nonamecinema.org

MOVIES Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliché Review Let’s submerge ourselves in punk-rock history BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
Punk is littered with angry white men bemoaning the government, their sex lives and the general malaise and apathy inherent with youth. But when we look back over the storied genre’s icons, a deeper picture emerges of the women, people of color, queer folks, outsiders and general excellence that transcended demographics to write the histories. Marianne Joan Elliott-Said, aka Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex, was one such outlier. In the new-ish documentary I Am a Cliché—which was technically released in 2021, but last year’s movie schedules are a nightmare of weirdness thanks to COVID—punk fans finally get a look into the early days of the impactful musician and poet from her daughter, Celeste Bell, who bases the film on delving into her mother’s archives five years after she died. Amongst the punk-rock faithful, Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex are easily summonable entities, but the deeper stories behind a young biracial woman from Brixton (that’s in England) not only tees us up for a
NO EXIT

+ BETTER THAN YOU’D THINK; LIU=FANTASTIC - MORE TELL THAN SHOW
Pretty amazing that it’s been 100 years since Hitchcock’s first major film, Number 13, and so many filmmakers are still emulating that master of suspense. You’ll find DNA writ by the legendary director all over Damien Power’s No Exit, a simple but tense everything-goes-wrong piece based on the novel by Taylor Adams, and while we never quite reach the dizzying heights of a film like Saboteur or the sickening lows of Psycho, Hulu’s newest original film does keep things tense and fresh enough to stay watchable throughout. In No Exit, young Darby (relative newcomer Havana Rose Liu) is a struggling addict who flees rehab upon learning her mother has suffered an aneurysm in the next state over. Nobody wants Darby at the hospital, but she’s gonna go all the same, right up until a massive snowstorm maroons her in some California mountain visitor’s center with an assorted handful of other weirdos who have issues all their own. There’s the former Marine (Dennis Haysbert, aka the Allstate guy and an accomplished multimedium actor) and his retired nurse wife (the ever-underrated Dale Dickey), plus the mysterious heartthrob (Danny Ramirez) and the fidgety loner weirdo (David Rysdahl), all of whom seem harmless right up until Darby pops outside in search of
more complete appreciation of timeless songs like “Identity” and “Oh Bondage! Up Yours!,” it provides insight into the cultural elements, world forces and mental illnesses that propelled Elliott-Said into a world, Bell says, wherein she was famous but broke. Being the daughter of a working class English woman and a nomadic Somali immigrant would have been enough to make anyone feel out of place, the film posits, thanks in part to immersive narration from Passing star Ruth Negga, whose blue collar British drawl brilliantly encapsulates ElliottSaid’s teenage poetry, unused lyrics and journal entries. Bell looks deeper, however, into how fame triggered her mother’s insecurities and also led to a bipolar breakdown in 1979, as well as how X-Ray Spex’s 1978 debut Germfree Adolescents burrowed into topics of racial identity, punk politics and good old-fashioned angst during the Roxy era of punk titans like Sex Pistols, Sham 69, The Clash and many (too many) more. What sets I Am a Cliché apart from other films of its ilk, however, is its personal touch through Bell. Documentaries that focus on their makers can be problematic or, at least, lacking in objectivity. Here the narrative thrives with Bell’s perspective—a realistic one that readily humanizes a mythic music figure and through which Bell explores her mother’s post-fame struggles, time with Krishna Consciousness and a late-in-life reconciliation that spawned the 2011 Poly Styrene record Generation Indigo, complete with assistance from Bell herself. Elliott-Said would die of breast cancer that same year. So was her relationship with her daughter a good one? Not particularly, at least not until later in life, but interspersed audio interviews with X-Ray
a cell signal, only to find a young girl tied up in one of her fellow stranded’s van. Too bad about that spotty cell service, huh? What follows starts as a fairly simple whodunnit premise with Darby attempting to suss out the others, but as she tries ever harder to not let on how much she knows amid emerging personal histories and the ticking clock of her mother’s potential demise, she ultimately finds things are darker than she thought, and as the snow bears down and inexplicably refuses to pile up on cars, the situation devolves into the worst night ever. Kudos to Power and writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari for a more nuanced depiction of addiction than “this person is a loser,” and kudos to Liu as well for the quiet terror she elicits with little more than darting eyes and tense glances. Playing against Haysbert’s gravitas and Dickey’s quiet rage, she becomes a lightning rod for ricocheting emotions, even as Rysdahl turns in a so-so performance; Ramirez’s character eventually becomes something powerful, but it takes time. “Twist” might not be the right word for how it all goes down, but once the final wrinkle reveals itself, No Exit briefly positions itself as a film with something to say: What might we do if we were desperate enough, and can we ever truly know the motivations of those we think we know and love? (ADV) Hulu, R, 95 min.
9 + X-RAY SPEX
STILL SLAY; FASCINATING - FEELS A LITTLE SHORT
Spex bandmates and Poly Styrene’s friends, former lovers and other assorted musical heavies of the day seem to help Bell come to terms with her mother’s motivations; at the very least, she says, repairing that relationship before her mom died meant everything. There’s wisdom in there, of course, and it’s a nice capper to an otherwise enjoyable documentary for fans of any music. This is a songwriter who launched a million poets, songwriters, bands, etc. As Pauline Black of The Selecter says in the doc, there are those who kicked down the doors for themselves, yes, but also for everyone behind them, and those doors stayed open. For that and a drove of other reasons, I Am a Cliché should be considered required viewing. POLY STYRENE: I AM A CLICHE Directed by Bell and Paul Sng Center for Contemporary Arts, Apple TV, NR, 96 min.
OUT OF THE BLUE
8
+ HIDDEN GEM; MARVELOUS PERFORMANCES
- LACKING TECHNICAL ELEMENTS
As Hollywood’s post-golden-age bad boy, Dennis Hopper fits into 1980’s Out of the Blue with remarkable ease. His third directorial project is anything but feel-good, however (our protagonist groans about happy endings near the start of the film, so prepare yourself), yet a glimpse into such a rare personal project is a cinema lover’s long-lost dream. After a terrible tragedy, Cebe (Linda Manz) sees the world as a place wherein everyone leaves, whether it be her incarcerated father Don (Hopper) or her beloved Elvis Presley. Rebellious to a point of recklessness, her possibilities shift when Cebe’s troubled father is released back to her and her addict mother (Sharon Farrell). Their disinterested community racks up the tally of blows, prompting Cebe to search for an escape even while a new dawn in her relationship with her father finally seems possible. Hopper’s opus is a deeply uncomfortable film representing the secrets behind outwardly idyllic domestic Western life and those which drive our inner desires. One can call it bleak and hopeless, others eye-opening—Out of the Blue’s muted dreary-skied portrayal of Vancouver is enough cause for most to question their own worlds’ mendacity; any faults in the direction are made up
in consistent energy and a pacing modern films still struggle to find. Hopper, who died in 2010, never had much luck as a director and, despite occasional critical praise, never quite grasped the same heights as Easy Rider’s success. Pulling double duty as the father, he tackles a figure who can’t come back into society with all the Oscar-bait such a role entails. Nevertheless, Manz and Farrell take control of the picture in their tragic mother-daughter duo performances, becoming superstars in their inter-connected portrayals of fragile strength. Out of the Blue is thus a film to avoid if you’re overwhelmed by the state of the world, but cinephiles can hardly afford to miss out. Its gorgeous restoration further reminds audiences why New Hollywood’s gritty vibe resonated as it did—just don’t expect polish and you should probably jettison expectations for a pre-determined ending. No, Hopper’s lost film isn’t perfect, but as an encapsulation of the man’s rebellious streak featuring echoes of New Hollywood, it is downright indispensable. (Riley Gardner) CCA, NR, 93 min

SFR CLASSIFIEDS MIND BODY SPIRIT PSCYHICS Rob Brezsny
Week of March 9th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries author Isak Dinesen defined “true piety” as “loving one’s destiny unconditionally.” That’s a worthy goal for you to aspire to in the coming weeks. I hope you will summon your deepest reserves of ingenuity and imagination as you cultivate a state of mind in which you adore your life just as it is. You won’t compare it negatively to anyone else’s fate, and you won’t wish it were different from what it actually is. Instead, you will be pleased and at peace with the truth of exactly who you are right now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A blogger named MysteryOfWhat expressed appreciation for her errors and wrong turns. “I love all my mistakes!” she exclaimed. “I had fun!” She has a theory that she would not have been able to completely fulfill her interesting destiny without her blunders and her brilliant adjustments to those blunders. I won’t encourage you to be quite so boisterously unconditional in celebrating your fumbles and miscues, Libra. My inclination is to urge you to honor them and feel grateful for them, but I’m not sure I TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As author Mary Ruefle points out, “In the beginning, William Shakespeare was a should advise you to shout out, “I love all my mistakes! I had fun!” But what do you think? baby, and knew absolutely nothing. He couldn’t even speak.” And yet eventually, he became a literary superstar—among history’s greatest authors. What happened in between? I’m not exaggerating when I attribute part of the transformation to magic. Vast amounts of hard work and help and luck were involved, too. But to change from a wordless, uncoordinated sprout to a potent, influential maestro, Taurus-born Shakespeare had to be the beneficiary of mysterious powers. I bring this up, Taurus, because I think you will have access to comparable mojo during the next four weeks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As talented and financially successful as Kanye West is, the Gemini singer-songwriter experiences a lot of emotional suffering. But no one lives an ideal life, right? And we can learn from everyone. In any case, I’ve chosen quotes by Kanye that are in rapt alignment with your astrological omens. Here they are: 1. “I’m in pursuit of awesomeness; excellence is the bare minimum.” 2. “You’re not perfect, but you’re not your mistakes.” 3. “I’m not comfortable with comfort. I’m only comfortable when I’m in a place where I’m constantly learning and growing.” 4. “Everything I’m not makes me everything I am.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Any real ecstasy is a sign you are moving in the right direction,” wrote philosopher Saint Teresa of Avila, who was renowned for her euphoric spiritual experiences. So is there any such thing as “fake ecstasy,” as she implies? Maybe fake ecstasy would be perverse bliss at the misfortune of an enemy, or the trivial joy that comes from realizing your house keys aren’t missing. Real ecstasy, on the other hand, might arise from a visceral sense of the presence of God, or the rapture that emerges as you make love with a person you care for, or the elation you feel when you commune with your favorite animal. Anyway, Cancerian, I predict that in the coming days, you will have an extra rich potential for the real kinds of rhapsodic delight and enchantment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Norman MacCaig wrote, “Ask me, go on, ask me to do something impossible, something freakishly useless, something unimaginable and inimitable like making a finger break into blossom or walking for half an hour in twenty minutes or remembering tomorrow.” I hope people say things like that to you soon, Scorpio. I hope allies playfully nudge you to stretch your limits, expand your consciousness, and experiment on the frontier. To encourage such a development, you could do the same for your beloved allies: nudge them to stretch their limits, expand their consciousness, and experiment on the frontier.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It’s surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. Yes! I agree. And by providing you with this heads-up from her, I’m hoping that the subtly potent events unfolding for you in the coming weeks will not go unnoticed. I’m hoping you will be alert for seemingly small but in fact crucial developments—and thereby give them all the focus and intelligence they deserve. Later, you’ll remember this delicately pivotal time with amazed gratitude.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Look at your body not as a source of physical attraction but as a shrine,” wrote teacher Sobonfu Somé. Personally, I have no problem if you regard your body as a source of physical attraction—as a gorgeous, radiant expression of your life energy, worthy of inspiring the appreciation of others. But I agree with Somé that you should also treat your body as a sacred sanctuary deserving of your reverence—especially now. Please boost your intention to provide your beloved organism with all the tender care it needs and warrants.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What’s more important: to learn or to unlearn? The answer, of course, is they are equally important.
